L8ter
BAMBOOH

Vintagegirl, why does this never happen when I am at home?
I had gotten this, the biggest Tiki in the neighbourhood, because someone told me "Erect it, and they will come!"
Well, I am still sitting here at my desk, looking out at the front lawn, waiting...
Or did they mean it in some other way???

Trader Woody, is this a contemporary,"retro" painting/artwork?

Sabu, there is something wrong with that re-posted photo: If I would find myself in that position, I would never make the face on the right, but smile rather contently.

Yep, it's a contemporary painting. Frustratingly, I happened upon the website a good while ago and can't find it again. I recall that the artist set up the scenes, photographed them, then attempted to paint the result as closely to a photograph as he could. There were others in a similar vein, but without Tikis.

Almost Scary!!! It would be interesting to find out who the photographer was and whether or not he did a whole slew of similar shoots (much like Octavio has).
I guess we must keep in mind that Basement Tiki Bars, in the 50s and 60s, were the domain of the Man of the House. I don't suppose many housewives were encouraged to set up their own (or even to collaborate in the hobby save from drinking a bit and cleaning a lot).
Has anyone else noticed that we have recently lost another vestige of that wonderful era? They recently changed the shape of the Michelob bottle! It had been designed, in the 50s, to resemble the female figure. Now it just looks like, well... A Beer Bottle.
Seems we lose a bit more each and every day.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is one of the most entertaining threads I've read on this forum.I can feel the recriminations coming, but a little prurience is essential to maintain one's sanity.
Given the ominous events that I see coming-I think we all should take a moment to reflect on the beautiful, pleasant things in life.
When it comes to beauty-Hawaii and the female form top my list. In that order.

Tikibars,

I think you're refering to the picture of Hugh's pool and babes that's in the BOT.

I think you'd be barking up the wrong tree if you decide to wade through old Playboys looking for this set (Though there are undoubtably worse ways to fill your spare hours). I'm pretty sure that this pic comes from some cheesy 60's nylon/stag mag, though it's highly probable that the same photos appeared in a variety of mags.
